Officers arrived and found the victim — whose name has not been released — on the floor, between a bed and a wall. She was declared dead at the scene.

Police took the man to the Warren police station where he was questioned and eventually arrested. Officials did not divulge his name as detectives continued to review the case Monday afternoon to determine potential charges.

“The preliminary story is they were at a bar and that there was some dispute or argument and she returned to the home,” said Green, who declined to elaborate on what sparked the argument.

Investigators have not determined how the woman arrived at the house, located near 12 Mile and Ryan roads, after leaving the unspecified bar located near 11 Mile and Stephenson Highway in Madison Heights. The boyfriend admitted he got into an altercation at home with his girlfriend, who had been residing with him for approximately three weeks.

“We have independent evidence that suggests it was about 2:30 a.m.,” Green said.

The boyfriend told detectives he then left the house but returned home about 10 a.m. Police continued to investigate his version of the sequence of events. He likely will be arraigned Tuesday in 37th District Court, Green said.

Law enforcers at the scene were stunned by destruction inside the home, including lighting fixtures pulled from the ceiling, broken windows, doors torn off cabinets, a toilet ripped from the floor and the refrigerator tipped over.

“I’ve never seen a house trashed so bad in my life,” Green said. “Everything in that house was destroyed.”
